Course Information

Course Aims

Modern theory of financial markets relies on advanced mathematical and statistical methods that

are used to model, forecast and manage risk in complex financial transactions. After the

publication in 1973 of the ground-breaking paper of Black and Scholes on the arbitrage pricing of

European call options, it became clear that Stochastic Analysis is an indispensable tool for the

theory of financial markets, derivation of prices of standard and exotic options and other derivative

securities, hedging related financial risk, as well as managing the interest rate risk.

In this course, you will learn the basic concepts and techniques of Stochastic Analysis, such as:

Brownian motion, martingales, Ito stochastic integral, Ito's formula, stochastic differential

equations, equivalent change of a probability measure, integral representation of martingales with

respect to a Brownian filtration, relations to second order partial differential equations, the

Feynman-Kac formula, and stochastic processes with discontinuities.

The course consists of theorems and proofs. The main goal of the course is to provide a

necessary mathematical background for MATH5816 Continuous Time Financial Modelling and

MATH5985 Term Structure Modelling, rather than to focus directly on financial concepts.

School and UNSW Policies

The School of Mathematics and Statistics has adopted a number of policies relating to enrolment,

attendance, assessment, plagiarism, cheating, special consideration etc. These are in addition to

the Policies of The University of New South Wales. Individual courses may also adopt other

policies in addition to or replacing some of the School ones. These will be clearly notified in the

Course Initial Handout and on the Course Home Pages on the Maths Stats web site.

Students in courses run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics should be aware of the School

and Course policies by reading the appropriate pages on the Maths Stats web site starting at:

https://www.maths.unsw.edu.au/currentstudents/assessment-policies

The School of Mathematics and Statistics will assume that all its students have read and

understood the School policies on the above pages and any individual course policies on the

Course Initial Handout and Course Home Page. Lack of knowledge about a policy will not be an

excuse for failing to follow the procedure in it.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

UNSW has an ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of learning informed by academic

integrity. All UNSW staff and students have a responsibility to adhere to this principle of academic

integrity. Plagiarism undermines academic integrity and is not tolerated at UNSW. Plagiarism at

UNSW is defined as using the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your own.

The UNSW Student Code provides a framework for the standard of conduct expected of UNSW

students with respect to their academic integrity and behaviour. It outlines the primary

Page | 6

obligations of students and directs staff and students to the Code and related procedures.

In addition, it is important that students understand that it is not permissible to buy

essay/writing services from third parties as the use of such services constitutes plagiarism

because it involves using the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your own. Nor is

it permissible to sell copies of lecture or tutorial notes as students do not own the rights to this

intellectual property.

If a student breaches the Student Code with respect to academic integrity, the University may take

disciplinary action under the Student Misconduct Procedure.

The UNSW Student Code and the Student Misconduct Procedure can be found at:

https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism

An online Module “Working with Academic Integrity” (https://student.unsw.edu.au/aim) is a six-

lesson interactive self-paced Moodle module exploring and explaining all of these terms and

placing them into your learning context. It will be the best one-hour investment you’ve ever made.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is presenting another person's work or ideas as your own. Plagiarism is a serious

breach of ethics at UNSW and is not taken lightly. So how do you avoid it? A one-minute video for

an overview of how you can avoid plagiarism can be found

https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism.

Additional Support

ELISE (Enabling Library and Information Skills for Everyone)

ELISE is designed to introduce new students to studying at UNSW.

Completing the ELISE tutorial and quiz will enable you to:

analyse topics, plan responses and organise research for academic writing and other

assessment tasks

effectively and efficiently find appropriate information sources and evaluate relevance

to your needs

use and manage information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose

Page | 7

better manage your time

understand your rights and responsibilities as a student at UNSW

be aware of plagiarism, copyright, UNSW Student Code of Conduct and Acceptable Use of

UNSW ICT Resources Policy

be aware of the standards of behaviour expected of everyone in the UNSW community

locate services and information about UNSW and UNSW Library

Some of these areas will be familiar to you, others will be new. Gaining a solid understanding of all

the related aspects of ELISE will help you make the most of your studies at UNSW.

The ELISE training webpages:

https://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/elise/aboutelise

Equitable Learning Services (ELS)

If you suffer from a chronic or ongoing illness that has, or is likely to, put you at a serious

disadvantage, then you should contact the Equitable Learning Services (previously known as

SEADU) who provide confidential support and advice.

They assist students:

living with disabilities

with long- or short-term health concerns and/or mental health issues

who are primary carers

from low SES backgrounds

of diverse genders, sexes and sexualities

from refugee and refugee-like backgrounds

from rural and remote backgrounds

who are the first in their family to undertake a bachelor-level degree.

Their web site is: https://student.unsw.edu.au/els/services

Equitable Learning Services (ELS) may determine that your condition requires special

arrangements for assessment tasks. Once the School has been notified of these, we will make

every effort to meet the arrangements specified by ELS.

Additionally, if you have suffered significant misadventure that affects your ability to complete the

course, please contact your Lecturer-in-charge in the first instance.

Academic Skills Support and the Learning Centre

The Learning Centre offers academic support programs to all students at UNSW Australia. We

assist students to develop approaches to learning that will enable them to succeed in their

academic study. For further information on these programs please go to:

http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/services-programs

Applications for Special Consideration for Missed Assessment

Please adhere to the Special Consideration Policy and Procedures provided on the web page

below when applying for special consideration.

https://student.unsw.edu.au/special-consideration

Please note that the application is not considered by the Course Authority, it is considered by a

centralised team of staff at the Nucleus Student Hub.

The School will contact you (via student email account) after special consideration has been

granted to reschedule your missed assessment, for a lab test or paper-based test only.

For applications for special consideration for assignment extensions, please note that the new

submission date and/or outcome will be communicated through the special consideration web

site only, no communication will be received from the School.

For Dates on Final Term Exams and Supplementary Exams please check the “Key Dates for

Exams” ahead of time to avoid booking holidays or work obligations.

https://student.unsw.edu.au/exam-dates

If you believe your application for Special Consideration has not been processed, you should email

specialconsideration@unsw.edu.au immediately for advice.

Course Evaluation and Development (MyExperience)

Student feedback is very important to continual course improvement. This is demonstrated within

the School of Mathematics and Statistics by the implementation of the UNSW online student

Page | 9

survey myExperience, which allows students to evaluate their learning experiences in an

anonymous way. myExperience survey reports are produced for each survey. They are released to

staff after all student assessment results are finalised and released to students. Course

convenor will use the feedback to make ongoing improvements to the course.
